ANOTHER SCHOOL/PUBLIC SHOOTING

[Blindgreed1]

I thought there was a waiting period for buying guns! I seriously thought that was one of the things gun buyers hated, the dreaded waiting period, because really, any pissed off person should be able to go buy a gun in the heat of anger. Jesus Christ.

What makes you think there isn't a waiting period? Depending on the state, the waiting period is usually between 2-7 days, in California it's 10 days.

True and false BG. While some states, like Ill & Ca do have waiting periods, others like Ia, where I live, does not. Because I hold a Permit to carry dangerous weapons I can legally purchase a firearm without a waiting period or background check. Actually, because I have filled out the 4473 so many times I can be out the door in about 5 minutes, gun in hand.

You are correct when you say that the laws vary state to state. That is one reason why I say the system needs flushed and a new system built. I really believe it should be a standard set of rules, for both purchase and carry, across the nation, just like a drivers license.

I really don't like Wikipedia, but in this instance I will use them because I feel its the easiest to read. For anyone that wants to see how much of a mess the laws are, state to state, scroll down and look at the differences in the state laws.

In California, where it's REALLY hard to get a firearm, the waiting period is 10 days. She was in California. So help me out with this one F.U., how was this mentally unstable woman able to get a pistol in one of the hardest states to purchase one and commit this horrible crime? Hmmm... Gun reform you say? Nuff said.
